One of our specialties is firestopping on lifts in new and existing buildings. Firestopping around lift doors and cavities within the lift shaft is a critical aspect of fire safety management. Here are the key considerations and guidelines: 1. **Regulatory Compliance**: Firestopping around lift doors must comply with the Building Regulations, specifically Part B (Fire Safety). This ensures that fire and smoke are contained within the elevator shaft and do not spread to other areas of the building. 2. **Fire-Resistant Materials**: Use fire-resistant materials that meet British Standards, such as BS 476 or BS EN 1366-4, for sealing gaps around elevator doors. These materials must be capable of withstanding high temperatures and preventing fire spread. 3. **Compartmentation**: Elevator shafts should be designed to maintain compartmentation. This means that any penetrations, including those around lift doors, must be sealed effectively to prevent the movement of fire and smoke between compartments. Choose Sheridan Fire & Security for a comprehensive approach to fire and security solutions—because your safety is our priority.
